Android sans Google

Nokia X comes with an operating system that is built on Android Open Source Project (AOSP). As AOSP lack proprietary Google code, applications such as Google Play Store and Google Maps will not be available on Nokia X. Google were adding several aspects to Google Play Services over years, which were not available under AOSP. If an app uses any of these features, Nokia X cannot operate it.
